Omega Launched new Seamaster Diver ETNZ Limited Edition Watch

In order to mark its long-lasting partnership with Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) and the upcoming sailing event, the 2013 America’s Cup, in San Francisco, the renowned Swiss watchmaker created a very special Seamaster Diver Chronograph, equipped with the crucial performances for the yachting timepieces. Limited to 2013 pieces, this bold looking sport watch offers a truly unique design and great functionality.

Omega SeamasterDiver ETNZ Limited Edition

The new Seamaster Diver ETNZ Limited Edition watch has a robust, 44 mm case made of polished and brushed stainless steel. It incorporates a matt black ceramic, rotating bezel ring with printed minute scale for counting diving intervals. A black rubber strap with red inserts brings comfort and contributes to nice overall aesthetics. The watch is also available with a stainless steel extendable divers’ bracelet.

Omega SeamasterDiver ETNZ Limited Edition Watch Dial

A matt black dial features a great combination of luminescent white and red indices that increase a superb readability. At the outer rim, there is a red seconds track. The sub-dial at the 3 o’clock position is also marked in red, as well as the central chronograph second hand. Besides counting 30-minute time intervals, this sub-dial also comes with a 5-minute countdown timer which is a very important performance for yachtsmen who need to prepare for the start of the regatta. The small seconds sub-dial takes the 9 o’clock position, while the 12-hour chrono counter is located at the 6 o’clock position, including a date window. Finally, the dial features skeletonized central hour and minute hands, covered with white Superluminova.

The screw-in case-back comes with the “ETNZ” logo. The limited edition number (0000/2013) and “CHALLENGER FOR THE 34TH AMERICA’S CUP” are engraved around its outer rim. Durable materials and the tough construction of the case allow a diver to go up to 300 meters (990 feet) with this great timepiece on the wrist.
